Last chance bait and tackle in hemet Ca

Ldc XXH mod fast. Thats what I use. Rated to 16 oz it throws it great. Thats the reason I had it built. But it also will throw a mother chaser 22oz. You wont have an issue.

Normally I wouldn't input on this kinda topic with the current direction of swimbait fishing, but I figured I will. So many people see this bait as something its not, as a status symbol or tackle room shelf piece but really its an intricate bait that will take time to learn and fish. I have three of them one original trout is the one I fish 99% of the time. I put some serious hours in on the bait and have fished mine very hard since they came out. I've experimented with rods, rod blanks, reels, line, hooks, weighting many many times and have had some major losses disappointments but also some very awesome catches and experiences because of it. Ive learned how to tune it, what hooks are best on it etc. the bait takes alot of patience and dedication. I think I gravitated to it more lately because it reminds me of the deadtwitch. A bait I loved so much and committed many trout seasons to but the one drawback is its kind of one dimensional at times. The chaser can do multiple things and actually trigger a response if needed when the twitch cannot without washing out or appearing unnatural. Stock the bait is a heavy float meaning it does float just at the surface with most of the bait remaining underwater. Upon retrieval it goes down a foot or two, the real KEY with this bait is modifying it to your liking "cough" dont fish the surface. Its my interpretation that alot of Japanese baits are made with the individual angler in mind meaning they are made in a way that you can tune them to your liking. If you are comfortable dropping the money and fishing it like the money does not matter and utilizing it for all its worth and figuring out what setup and configuration best works for you then get it! If i was more handy with recording and software id make some content with it sharing experiences and information, i have a good amount of go pro footage fishing the bait. Very fun bait i caught one DD with it and a handful just under and a few 6-7s its a catcher and its worth it to me.

Can thank mike bucca for that lol

You have to want it you have to have confidence. If you don't believe in it before you hit the lake you already lost.

This is the weird part. I aint saying I was on a forefront because I wasnt. Back in 2010 i would say the swimbait scene was just about to take off with big name companies ramping up affordable baits. Couple years before that i got into it wanting to do something different than anyone else to target a fish of a lifetime. Now everyone knows about it and does it.

Do what others wont to experience what others dont. I too fish the gin clear resivoirs here in southern california. For a while I was fishing 4 days a week open to close. I've experienced many unique scenarios and have had alot of opportunities. One thing I did learn is that every day is different. Any and everyone has an opinion on how to catch bass... its up to you to create a style that works for you and fish baits line and hardware that works for you.... Fish new, fish the conditions dont arrive expecting what to throw. Have your set arsenal and decide what will work best based on ALL your conditions. Now as far as how to be DIFFERENT than 99% of all the others, this will take an inventive mindset and alot of tinkering and hard work. Dont fish typical baits everyone else uses even if its "proven", dont use hardware everyone else uses, dont use colors everyone else uses dont fish cadences everyone else fishes dont fish depths everyone else fishes. Dont go out with a hunter mindset. You are the PREY put your bait in sticky scenarios in trees, rock, tires, dumb areas a prey item would get funneled into. To start Fish your bait on lighter line that shiny 250 you have isnt doing you any good on 30lb mono that hudd isnt doing any good on 25lb mono... especially in GIN clear water. Fish light flouro or light mono that blends in best with your water. For me thats maxima ultragreen or seaguar abrazx. Now for your bait! Quit watching social media and youtube as a form of providing you with a sense of direction or knowledge. It will get newbies a handle on the basics but if you want to catch fish nobody else does and stand out why do or listen to what everyone else is doing? Sure you will catch a fluke 8-9 lber maybe even 10 but quit following the crowd when it comes to bait selection. Pick baits that FIT your style of fishing. Get them painted different colors. As much as some say color dosnt matter ive personally experienced fishing klash ghosts not getting bit all day in my milk run then following up later same approach wild color and boom! Like a light switch they bit. Be different natural is the new UNNATURAL. Everyones throwing a trout scheme everyones throwing a bluegill scheme. In conventional its always been about making your bait stand out flashy spinner bait blades flashy rattle traps loud colored topwater or plastic worms. Swimbaiting for a long time has been about "matching the hatch" but honestly with thousands of trout and your bait looks identical to all the trout whats gonna make the big lazy obese bass eat your bait over another trout who is in a more prime spot doesnt have line or hooks attached to it etc. Whats gonna make a bass eat your natty 250 over billys 10 yards away? Another thing is hardware everyone uses split rings maybe figure out a way to not use split rings, use smaller hooks use less hardware on the line tie imo no need for snaps swivels or any of that extra stuff. Use lighter line etc. Remember change your cadence, change your color, change your hardware and change your angles. Change the way you think, dont follow traditional verbage or methods as a guidline to fish a swimbait. I could go on for hours lol but ima leave it there as a start lol.

This bait has been in prototype stages since the code name bass was lol who knows when it will come out

Bass can't smell oil they can only smell what's soluable in water oil doesn't mix with water so 90% of the scents on the market are useless gimiks maybe only advantage is they serve as a lubricant. I use bass dynasty. If I were to make my own it would have a blended baitfish component with some sort of way to bond it to the bait.

I'd buy one if I had the money rn and I'd fish the hell out if it!
